“…Although some cases of myopericytoma of the neck have been reported, there are no reported cases of this tumor attached to the great vessels in the neck. To our knowledge, this is the first reported intravascular myopericytoma that originated from the common carotid artery …”

“…In November 2015, we performed a systematic search in Science Direct, Ovid, and PubMed with the terms (myopericytoma) AND (head OR neck OR parotid), which resulted in 17 articles published in the English literature, finding another 12 publications from the references, resulting in 29 publications (Table ), from which we could only retrieve another 6 cases that were deeply located at the head and neck region to this date, all from single case reports (Table ).…”

Myopericytoma (MPC) was accepted as a separate entity by the World Health Organization in 2002 and it describes a lesion which comprises of myoid-like oval to spindle-shaped cells with a concentric perivascular type of growth. We present two unusual cases of MPC in the maxillofacial region. In our case management included complete surgical excision under general anesthesia and regular post-operative follow up. Myopericytomas belong to one of the three categories comprising a broader and heterogeneous group of lesions called Hemangiopericytoma (HPC)-like neoplasm's. These include glomangiopericytoma, infantile myofibromatosis (formerly known as infantile HPC), and portion of sinonasal HPC. A clinically relevant characteristic of hemangiopericytoma is its unpredictable clinical course which is often not related to its histopathologic characteristics. The latter course is in contrast to the benign course of MPC, thus it is essential for practitioners to differentiate between those two diagnoses.

“…Myopericytoma (MPC) is considered a soft tissue tumor with a benign nature and was recently discovered [1]. The World Health Organization endorsed the terminology in 2002 to define a lesion that consists of a concentric perivascular growth pattern of myoid-like cells that vary in shape from oval to spindle [2].…”

Intravascular Myopericytoma: A Case Report

Myopericytoma is a rare tumor that arises from perivascular myoid cells. Intravascular myopericytoma is an exceptionally rare subtype with a small number of cases reported. Here, we describe the case of a 31-yearold woman who presented with a lump on the dorsum of the right foot for nine months. Imaging indicated that the lesion is in close proximity to the dorsalis pedis vessels. Following surgical excision, the histological analysis revealed a benign neoplasm arising within a vein wall with features of vascular and pericytic differentiation. When using immunohistochemistry, the blood vessels were highlighted by the cluster of differentiation (CD) 31 and smooth muscle actin (SMA) with negative staining for pancytokeratins. These features led to the diagnosis of intravascular myopericytoma.
